It looks like I've owned 10

1995 Chevy Ambulance, 2006 MINI, 1978 Mini, 1978 280Z, 1979 Fairlady Z, 1973 510, 1971 510, 1972 510, 1982? 200SX, 1985 Dodge Van

But here's the real question. Of those cars you've owned in the last decade, how many do you still have?

I've got 7.

91 Subaru Loyale, 86.5 Nissan Hardbody, 86 Ford Granada Wagon, 91 Acura Integra, 87-88 Ford TBird Turbo Coupe (x12 at least), 92 Ford SHO, 86 Ford Mustang, 86 Mazda RX-7, 95 Chevy Camaro, 91 Ford Escort, 86 Honda Civic, 88 Mercury Cougar, 83-84 TBird Turbo Coupe (x2), 96 Nissan Hardbody, 87 Ford TBird Sport, 01 Ford Police Interceptor, 83 Mazda RX-7

More than some, less than others. 16 total.

I haven't owned a car less than a decade old at the time of purchase, and probably never will. As a matter of fact, I'll probably never own something produced past the mid 90's. If it has traction control and/or a bunch of big plastic panels covering the motor, I'm not interested.

For the hell of it:

  1. 1985 Chrysler New Yorker turbo (not the boss hong.)
  2. 1982 Cutlass (the Le'Mon Supreme.)
  3. 1988 Dodge Shadow turbo (damn I miss that car.)
  4. 1990 Civic hatch 4-speed (probably the most "utilitarian" car I've ever owned.)
  5. 1986 CRX Si (yellow, then black)
  6. 1991 Integra
  7. 1988 Civic 4-door
  8. 1987 Integra (burgundy)
  9. 198(6?) CRX DX
  10. 1986 CRX Si (white)
  11. 1990 GMC Mexi-Express Duallie conversion FOR SALE!!!
  12. 1987 Integra (blue)
  13. 1986 Civic Hatch (the EP car)
  14. 1986 CRX Si (Gaurd's red-the in-progress turbo project)

Ten years ago I was sixteen and had just got my driving license, so this list also counts as all the cars I've ever owned:

  1. 1988 VW Fox - bought for $350, sold for $150
  2. 1986 Civic Wagovan - free from family, sold for $300
  3. 1995 Mitsubishi Mirage - bought for $1200, sold for $300
  4. 1993 Eagle Summit - bought for $200, sold for $200 and a Playstation 2 (score!)
  5. 1985 Corolla GT-S - bought for $350, sold for $1600
  6. 1987 Corolla GT-S - bought for $350, parted, then sold hulk + good drivetrain for $450
  7. 1990 Celica GT-S - bought for $2700, still own (for sale!)
  8. 1980 Celica GT - bought for $1200, sold for $1100 to a board member
  9. 1987 Porsche 944S - bought for $4000 (went half with my dad), still own
  10. 1989 Starion ESi-R - bought for $900, still own
  11. 1992 Lotus Elan - bought for £3400, still own, daily driver

Note that six out of eleven have had pop-up headlights. Not bad, I'm averaging more than 50%. Three of the above are European, eight are Japanese. Only three were 4-doors (1, 2 & 4), five are RWD (5, 6, 8, 9 & 10), only one is a convertable (11) and a total of seven have been called "sports cars" at some point, or at least have some factory sporting pretensions (5 through 11.)
